"As part of my personal "summer slumming" reading program, I read chick lit mysteries. Any book that makes me laugh out loud gets an automatic 5 stars. Who knew that such a stupid heroine could be so likeable? The rest of the Bubbles series keeps the laughter going."

— Kylie (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Pennsylvania’s answer to Erin Brockovich.”

    — Jennifer Cruise, author of Tell Me Lies
  • “A breezy and funny mystery with a heroine who dresses like a Barbie doll and kicks ass like a marine.”

    — Sparkle Hayter
  • “There is a riotous world waiting in these pages.”

    — Houston Chronicle
  • “Bubbles Yablonsky, a thirty-four-year-old hairdresser/divorcee, may dress and look like a blonde Barbie-doll bimbo, but she aspires to a more brain-intensive job as an investigative journalist…A sexy, irrepressible heroine, riotous supporting characters, continual action, ubiquitous humor, and even a makeup tip or two make this a highly recommended series debut.”

    " This was an okay book, the first of a series. It follows Bubbles, a down on her luck hairdresser that moonlights as a reporter on her first major story. I felt that this book took me a really long time to read, I wasn't captivated. I don't think I'll pick up another one of her books. "

    " This is a fun, humourous series. Puts me in mind of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series in some ways. "

    " What kind of name is bubbles?! It's hard not to laugh along with her - she is a barbie blonde hairdresser/amateur journalist. I will be reading more about her I am sure since this was a fun read. "

    " Blond, bimbo hairdresser by day and daring wanna-be journalist by night. A fun, "easy" murder mystery. Can she bring down the town's head honcho steel magnet, before he brings her down? I didn't expect to like this, but actually thought it was kind of cute. "

    " Totally fluffy read as other Strohmeyer books have been. Some people might really like hairdresser turned investigative reporter Bubbles and her tacky personality. I guess I can't say it was that bad since I finished it in two days. I skipped over the sections of beauty secrets. "

    " I thought this was really funny, I read it on the plane and had many other travellers looking at me as at times found it hard to contain my laughter. Shared it with my daughter who also loved it, we bought the rest of the series, would love to see it in movie form. "

    " Only got a little way into this and knew it wasn't for me. Not the best author and she takes the cheap way out throwing in sexual innuendos to supposedly be funny. Too many other things out there stacked up for me to read... "

    " I wasn't too sure about this book at first. After picking it up, I checked it out because the author is a news writer. Very Janet Evanovich-esque, funny, light and honestly I really liked it. I'll try the next one in the series. "

    " An Evanovich protege, moving the protagonist from Trenton just a hop skip and jump over the Delaware to Easton, PA. Enjoyable enough especially for Plum fans. "

    " A pretty screwball mystery described as Pennsylvania's answer to Erin Brockovitch, Bubbles Yablonsky is a curvy beautician addicted to high hair and spandex and yearns to be a reporter of note. Pure mind candy that will put you on a sugar high. "
